Hip Scoring

Hip scoring is a procedure used to determine the degree of hip dyplasia in dogs.The hip score is the sum of the points awarded for each of nine radiographic tures of both hip joints.The British Veterinary Association uses the following criteria to determine hip score:

Norberg Angle

Subluxation

Cranial Acetabular Edge

Dorsal Acetabular Edge

Cranial Effective Acetabular Rim

Acetabular Fossa

Caudal Acetabular Edge

Femoral Head \ Neck Exostosis

Femoral Head Recontouring

The lower the score, the less the degree of dysplasia present. The minimum (best) score for each hip is zero and the maximum (worst) is 53, giving a range for the total of 0 to 106.
